Frequently Asked Questions
How personal should a birthday wish for a colleague be?
Focus on professional appreciation rather than personal details. Mention specific work qualities you admire, like their reliability, teamwork, or problem-solving skills. Avoid overly personal topics while maintaining genuine warmth.
Is it appropriate to mention work achievements in a birthday card?
Yes, when done thoughtfully. Briefly acknowledging how their contributions positively impact the team shows you value their professional presence. For example: 'Your recent project success made our team proud—wishing you similar achievements in your personal year ahead.'
Should I sign a colleague's birthday card differently if we're not close?
Use your standard professional signature (name only) if you have a formal workplace relationship. For colleagues you interact with regularly, adding a brief personalized line like 'Enjoy your day!' or 'Best wishes from your desk neighbor' maintains professionalism while showing consideration.
